Study Figure 3 which shows two students discussing about water pricing in
Singapore as a way to manage our water resources.

Water pricing will make sure that

Singaporeans will be careful about how
much water they use. If we are not mindful,
our water bills may increase by a lot. This
will make all Singaporeans appreciate the
value of clean water.

This means our products will become more expensive.
